Pubcast 234 – Tighthead Brewing

During a week when Chicago was hit hard by rains and flooding, The Brit braved the elements and headed up to the northern suburb of Mundelein, and sat down with owner and brewer, Bruce Dir for a beer and a chat. Tighthead Brewing is one of those breweries who has been open since 2011 and therefore qualifies as well-established and solid. We first visited Tighthead after they had been open for about a year, and technical difficulties resulted in a somewhat one-sided stereo recording! This time round, we made sure the recording turned out a little better! We taste some of their brews while we chat, and we talk about how the brewery has matured and settled over the years, and also consider beer styles and pubs. It’s just like sitting down for a beer with a friend – thanks Bruce!
